Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

Brown Ale - American

They don't make 'em like they used to... or do they? The bottle shop series is a tribute to the folks who supported ragtag brewer's across the country when craft beer was in its infancy. when beer enthusiasts sought out innovation through big flavor, in your face complexity and revered quality above all else. This series is for you: the distinguished beer connoisseur still seeking the revolution that energized the industry we know today -- that settles for nothing less then the very best!

Pretty much as advertised. But not as much on the vanilla. Nice spicy and cherry caramel notes.

I would not categorize this as a brown ale, but it's quite effective as a cocktail inspired beer.

Big orange and cherry initially, hot bourbon and caramel next. It does taste like a cocktail and that’s where I’m conflicted. Nice gimmicky drink, don’t make it again.

Nose is amazing. Subtle complex notes of Dark fruit, brown sugar, and caramel. Really light and thin for the 11%abv. May need to wait a year on the next one.

Weird but oddly decent. It tastes different than it smells to me.

Giving this brown ale a try, was told it tastes like an old fashion. It doesn’t disappoint! Get a ton of bourbon and cherry flavors, pretty heavy but not to shabby

Diggin the change of flavors. Orange, bourbon, light oak, cherry, and brown sugar. The 11% is hidden a little bit which makes the beer an easy sipper.

Interesting cold, need to try warm. Sweet orange peel, cherry then a hint of barrel to finish. Thanks Jeremy.

There are strong orange flavors with cherry. There is a medium bready and caramel flavor as well. There are also notes of bourbon and vanilla, with citrus.

Interesting. Cherry on the front and bourbon on the back end. Needs to be thicker IMO (TWSS)
